Israel Lobby Book is written by Jews but published by Nazis (Scoreboard Canada contributer Aug. 19th, 2007)

Rarer than the proverbial hen's teeth are books, articles, or movies that gain mainstreammedia recognition or attention that focus on the Israeli Lobby and its vast influence on American politics. The very mention of the existence of this widespread , multi-tentacled 'machine' that many believe controls the American government is nearly taboo and forbidden. Anyone that crosses this line can expect career consequences politically and economically to follow swiftly.

Recently, a small number of Jewish researchers and social scholars in the USA has decided to write a book about this geopolitical entity. This article is about the odd connections the various players involved in this endeavor have to the Nazi regime of Germany in WWII. ,,,

Further reader inquiry and research is suggested but it certainly raises the possibility that theso-called story about jews writing a book exposing the Israel lobby is a psyops or that the whole matter is a set-up to later expose the nazi ties and thus discredit forever the concept of an Israel Lobby being the driving force or controlling mechanism over USA policy.

'Evidence of Opportunistic Behavior' How a German publisher maneuvered himself through the Nazi era - By Thomas Schuler

The stories of many companies and businesspeople in the Nazi era have been documented. Now, with support from the Holtzbrinck family, a journalist has been investigating publishing magnate Georg von Holtzbrinck's conduct during the Third Reich.

The official Holtzbrinck company history still begins with the founding of a book club in 1948. But ever since 1998, when Vanity Fair magazine exposed Georg von Holtzbrinck's ties to the Third Reich, printing the index card documenting his party membership and accusing him of spreading Nazi ideology through magazines, the international publishing world has been asking whether von Holtzbrinck, who died in 1983, was a Nazi supporting Hitler and Goebbels.

For nearly a decade, journalist Thomas Garke-Rothbart pored over documents at almost 30 archives from Moscow to Washington. The Holtzbrinck family gave him access to letters and documents and financed his research. The results of his research have been published in the book "...für unseren Betrieb lebensnotwendig..." (Essential for our company's survival).

Who was the man who laid the cornerstone for one of the world's most prominent publishing groups, which now owns major publishers in the U.S. including Henry Holt (bought in 1985) and St. Martin's Press?

In 1995, the Georg von Holtzbrinck Publishing Group acquired Macmillan, one of Britain's oldest and largest independent book publishers. In addition to publishing companies, the company owns influential German newspapers such as Die Zeit, Handelsblatt and Berlin's Der Tagesspiegel. By acquiring S. Fischer Verlag (in the 1960s) and Farrar, Straus & Giroux (1992), the group added several prestigious, formerly Jewish publishing houses with authors including Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka, Hermann Hesse and Susan Sontag.

Born in 1909, Georg von Holtzbrinck was the fourth of five children of an impoverished aristocratic estate owner in Hagen, Westphalia. He began to study law in 1929, first in Bonn and then in Cologne. In 1931, he joined the Nazi Party's National Socialist German Students' League (NSDStB).

After 1945, his lawyers argued that the organization was "not any better or worse than other student organizations of the time." He attended only eight meetings, and joined up because the monthly dues were comparatively cheap, his lawyers said. Holtzbrinck emphasized that Nazism had never shown its true face there. The student league was not authoritarian but operated "according to democratic principles," the argument went.

However, the NSDStB was anything but harmless, Garke-Rothbart wrote. Nazi student organizations were banned at the University of Cologne at the beginning of the 1930s for baiting Jewish students and unpopular professors. Riots and assaults on Jews that had to be quelled by the police were not unusual.

Holtzbrinck must have known what he was getting into. Contrary to the placating representations of the postwar period, the NSDStB required a "high degree of political commitment" from its members, according to Siegfried Lokatis, a historian at Leipzig University.

Starting in 1930, von Holtzbrinck attracted subscribers to a type of book club for the Union Deutsche Verlagsgesellschaft in Stuttgart, which also published the adventure novels of Karl May. He was so successful that, beginning in 1931, he devoted himself exclusively to the business of soliciting subscribers for magazines and books. He earned around 20,000 reichsmarks in 1932 alone, or about 1,667 reichsmarks per month. As Garke-Rothbart points out, back then, 70 percent of doctors had to make do on less than 170 reichsmarks each month.

Along with August-Wilhelm Schlösser, von Holtzbrinck established a distribution company. In 1933 or 1935 (the sources conflict), he joined the Nazi Party (NSDAP) - for business reasons, he would later claim. The partners once solicited Adolf Hitler's private office and received a letter of recommendation. They used this to secure a contract with the German Labor Front (DAF). With 25 million members, the DAF was the NSDAP's largest and financially strongest mass organization.

Holtzbrinck's publishing record followed the party line. He was under no external pressure when he celebrated the outbreak of war and the Führer by releasing a special edition on the campaign in Poland in 1939. The book did not diverge from official propaganda.

The strategy apparently paid off. In 1942, Holtzbrinck achieved a sales record of 1.6 million reichsmarks; his own compensation totaled a prodigious 120,140 reichsmarks.

In a statement in Garke-Rothbart's book, Holtzbrinck's children and heirs, Dieter, Monika and Stefan, said they saw "evidence of opportunistic behavior," but remember him as "a man without anti-Semitic or militaristic character traits." After the war, in word and deed, he worked to compensate the people "who suffered under Nazi Germany. We share his commitment," his heirs said.

There are "no documents or publications with racist content" and "despite a certain amount of sympathy at the beginning, no indication of active party membership," they noted.

"Georg von Holtzbrinck's behavior was typical of the many owners of medium-sized businesses who came to terms with the equally medium and lower levels of the party and ministerial bureaucracy and the Wehrmacht offices responsible for producing books for the front," Garke-Rothbart said.

In 1946, von Holtzbrinck faced charges of being a beneficiary of the Nazi regime. It could have been the end of his career but on Feb. 25, 1948, a judge labeled him a "Mitläufer" (passive follower) and said Holtzbrinck's motives were economic, not political. He was sentenced to a 1,200-reichsmark fine.

The issue goes beyond assessing guilt for actions that have long eclipsed the statute of limitations, Lokatis said. In his examination of von Holtzbrinck and his business activities, Garke-Rothbart has accomplished an act of critical reflection on the origins of our modern media system, Lokatis said.

However, Garke-Rothbart wonders himself whether von Holtzbrinck "really was a beneficiary of the system. In the term's general usage, hardly a doubt remains."
